A couple of the StatSheet interns (and our better Ping Pong players) will be returning to school in August so we want commemorate the occasion with the first annual StatSheet Ping Pong Championship, August 5-6. If you work in RTP and would like to compete, please contact me at robbie@statsheet.com. The winner’s name will be taped to a trophy that has nothing to do with Ping Pong, which will remain on display at StatSheet HQ for 12 months. I’m also open to team-based competition if your company has several players that want to get beat by the StatSheet team.
FYI, StatSheet house rules allow for play off the walls and ceiling.

In 2002 I started my first “blog”. Blogs were new at the time and I was just getting my feet wet. I hand created each blog post (with HTML!). I used that first blog to talk about various books I was writing at the time.
Around 2005 after I finished up my grad program at MIT, I decided to revamp the blog and got it running under WordPress 2.0. I was going to cover general updates about things I found interesting. It wasn’t that interesting. I was doing some cool stuff, but I was still working at a large company so it wasn’t very easy to be open about it.
Now, 8 years after I started my first blog, I’m on version 3. I’ve upgraded to WordPress 3.0 (which is pretty nice) and I’m starting from scratch again. This time around I’m going to blog about my latest passion: StatSheet. Actually, it will be more than that. I’m going to write about my experiences as an entrepreneur, most of which run counter to conventional wisdom. I’m going to try and write at least one decent sized post a week. We’ll see.
